What Regional Federation should I review first?

[Guest Black Tiger]

Voting ends when I have time to do up a review. Possibly on Wendesday.

[Guest kingkamala]

Bah no Herb Abrams UWF shame on you Black Tiger, shame on you.

[Guest Retro Rob]

BT, I'm glad you will be doing non-puro reviews for the time being. Personally, I dig regional stuff, so I'm looking forward to which ever tape you do next.

I voted for World Class cause I want to know what the promotion was like

[Guest kingkamala]

Let me tell ya one thing about World Class. Kamala main evented a stadium show when he was in World Class. My name is King Kamala, World Class is all good by King Kamala.

[Guest Retro Rob]

Didn't Kamala also main event in Memphis against Lawler?

[Guest kingkamala]

He sure did, he was in Memphis for a while, longer then he was in WWF or World Class.

[Guest Retro Rob]

I have one of those matches, Lawler-Kamala. It was on the "King Kong Bundy: The Missing Matches" tape.

[Guest bob_barron]

I guess they put Lawler v. Kamala on there because they didn't find all of Bundy's missing matches!

[Guest Black Tiger]

Lawler vs. Kamala that headlined in the Mid South Coliseum is famous for Lawler's interview where he says some boarderline racist things about Kamala. I don't have the exact quote but its something along the lines of "I'm going to wet your black lips and stick them to the wall"

 

Sorry King Kamala, I don't own any Abarams UWF, nor do I care too.

 

I have to work on Wednesday, so it might have to wait a week or so, untill I can get some time for it.

 

No love for USWA Tx?

I never understood the concept behind those tapes because only one of the matches would have the guy on the cover (King Kong Bundy) in them.

[Guest Black Tiger]

Here's the time period for each federation in the poll along with some feature to give you a better idea of what's on them.

 

UWF 1986-87, almost the whole history of the federation.

 

WCCW: 1982, 1984-85, lots of great heel work from Adams/Hernandez, plus Midnights vs. Fantastics!

 

Florida: 1981-83, lots of Dusty Rhodes... oh wait I need to make you WANT to read the review, David Von Erich as a HEEL

 

Continental: 1987-88, THE BEST TAPES OF MY WHOLE REGIONAL COLLECTION too much good shit to list, Prichard vs. DWB feud, Stud Stable, Eddie Gilbert, Paul E. Dangerously. Downtown Bruno!

 

Mid Atlantic: 1983-85, the national expansion, the Race vs. Flair match when Orton and Slater tried to break his neck,

 

Memphis: 1988, lots of wise ass remarks from Lance Russel, plus early stuff from Jeff Jarrett, Cactus Jack, and a BIG BAD BOOTY DADDY!

 

USWA Tx: 1991, This federation worked its Ultra Mark fans so good, I WAS GETTING PISSED when the heels would cheat and win.

 

Central States: Some early Midnight Rockers, not much else of note.

[Guest bob_barron]

WCWW and Continental sound the best out of those tapes.

 

Can't wait for the review

[Guest Black Tiger]

Best of UWF vol. 1 is up on Smark Talk right now. I'm trying an experimental review style here, let me know what you think of it. If I recapped in my standard style then it'd be too damn long and the recap would bore you to tears.

[Guest bob_barron]

Good review. Minor correction- Sting was a heel in WCW in late 99
